In my 98 SL2, the original water pump lasted 43K (Sept 2000). Just had the water pump replaced again at 95K. Is this fairly typical for this model? The Saturn service guy said the current (replacement) water pumps are better quality than the original pump, so I probably won't need to replace it again for the life of the car. Any truth to that, or was he just blowing smoke? He had no idea how long I intend to keep this car.
I have never had a car for this many miles, so I really don't know what to expect.
Thanks for any info.
